About Frances
Frances Dallison is a UK-based counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people with low mood and life stress. She works with individuals facing anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief, addiction concerns and issues with self‑esteem. Frances uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people talk through what matters to them now.
She works in an integrative way, matching the approach to each person's needs. That means she might use ideas from psychodynamic work to look at past patterns, and draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness is used to build awareness and reduce reactivity in day-to-day life. Frances aims to create a warm and compassionate space where people can understand themselves better. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as on recognising feelings and patterns that keep problems going.
She supports people coping with separation, abandonment, codependency and blended family issues. Clients also bring concerns about eating and substance use, anger, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Frances talks through how those problems affect relationships and everyday functioning.
Her work is designed to help people make changes that feel realistic and meaningful. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and offers sessions in English. Frances accepts international clients and adapts her approach to each person's goals and circumstances.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for low mood, anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is suited to deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check‑ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing between appointments. These options aim to make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
